It can be difficult @Zoe7 , because some who don’t live it judge me for not being more assertive, but they don’t understand that stronger assertiveness causes shut-down with one, and a power challenge with the other 😔

Its a balance, a tightrope walk, but you know that .....

[Zoe7]

It is indeed a tightrope that you walk @Faith-and-Hope and you are the one living it each and every day. It must be very hard for those coming into the situation and see the dynamics play out to understand that but your day to day reality is so much more complicated than that. They only see what is presented and not the ongoing challrngrs you are faced with everyday. As you said - there are issues of shut-down with one and a power challenge with the other and you get stuck in the middle trying to pick up the pieces and help both of them move forward in some kind of positive light - and all that in the face of contant controlling behaviour from Mr. - indeed a balancing act that you do so well to navigate.

@Zoe7  I saw the pink shoes a few posts back, so I'm dropping off these. Not very comfy, but...... Kind thoughts incoming also.

[Zoe7]

They are impressive shoes @Maggie and you know anything with butterflies on them I would love.  Been up super early again and napping on the couch as a result - with a little white fluffball keeping me company of course

Good morning @Maggie @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @oceangirl 

Sorry to hear sleep is still not happening for you @Zoe7  I hope some of your big emotions are starting to settle however, and that it permits a better sleep routine from now on.  Do you have apts this coming week with GP, PDoc, etc?

Here are some more butterfly shoe selections for you.  Something for every occasion here.  A bit of glamour, a bit of glitz, a bit of sporty, a tiny bit of practical.  🤣

Only DBT this week @Former-Member which is good in a way because it will give me more time at home. Pdoc and gp in another couple of weeks. Pdoc has been away for school holidays so not able to see her for a month. Will be discussing meds with her again when I see her though.
